Updating data in a remote table by using a linked server
Hi,
I am trying to update a column in one database from a select statement on another database.
lets call database1 = weis1 and is on server1
and database2 = weis2 and is on server2
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'Accounts', 'true'
update server1.weis1 .[dbo].[CAT_RootOrg]
set CAT_RootOrg.SKUCode=999999
From server1.weis1.[dbo].[CAT_R
join server2.weis2 .[dbo].[ITEM_MASTER] t2
on t1.upc = t2.upc
where server2.weis2 .[dbo].[ITEM_MASTER].upc=n
Sorry i am just a novice at best when comes to sql. Any help on this would be great.

Are you getting any error or what is the issue? The only problem I see assuming the user running it has all necessary rights in place is that it will be very slow on large volumes. Can you create a view on Server2 and filter that data at least right at the source?
